A growing number of electric vehicle owners face a critical challenge that could hinder the shift to cleaner transport: the lack of accessible home charging infrastructure. While public charging stations are expanding, many drivers still rely on off-street parking for convenient overnight charging, yet new housing developments and urban planning often overlook dedicated EV parking spaces. Experts warn that without targeted policy changes and infrastructure investments, this gap could slow adoption and leave electric vehicles out of reach for those without private garages. The debate highlights how broader societal shifts—like rising home costs and denser living—clash with the practical needs of sustainable transportation.
